"We were so frightened and thought we were gonna die. But suddenly a man in red jumped down from the roof, took their swords, and killed them all. We saw so much blood that we screamed. That's when the commoners came. We asked for their help in notifying the authorities." Qian Yin's face was full of fear. She trembled slightly as if the killing was so bloody that even thinking about it brought back the horror she had felt in that moment.
The Governor nodded and turned to face Wang Jinhuan, "Mr. Wang, can you tell me why you happened to be on that roof?"
Wang Jinhuan glanced at the Governor and sighed. "It's well-known in the Imperial City that I like good-looking girls. Today when I was wandering in the street, I saw Princess Hui Guo. I did not know who she was. I just thought she was the most beautiful girl that I had ever seen. So I followed her. I had thought about approaching her to ask her name and address. When she walked into that back alley and bumped into those killers, " he paused to shake his head. "I couldn't allow such things to happen under my watch. So I killed them. By the way, they were awful at Kung Fu..."
The Governor's mouth twitched slightly. He said to Hua Jing, "Now that I've gathered basic information, I'll go to the crime scene and take a closer look."
Hua Jing nodded, "Escort the Governor out."
After the Governor left, Hua Jing stood up as well. "I'll send someone for the details. You two stay here and look after her. If Princess Hui Guo wakes up, send someone to notify me."
Qian Yin and Qin Yi nodded. Hua Jing gazed at Yun Shang for a long time before turning around and walking out.
"Well, Your Highness, now you can wake up. Let's talk about it. How are you going to pay me for all this? My reputation will only get worse after today. I won't be able to get rid of this philandering image anymore." Wang Jinhuan sat on a chair. He crossed his legs and waited for the Princess to reply. His beautiful eyes reflected his dissatisfaction with the situation in which he found himself.
Yun Shang opened her eyes and turned her h
detail. If anything goes wrong, you'll be responsible."
'The banquet?' Hearing her, Wang Jinhuan thought of the invitation sent to Prince Jing's mansion by Hua Jing. The Prince had also been invited to a banquet. 'Could she be talking about the same banquet? Was she going to harm Yun Shang at the same banquet to which she had invited the Prince?'
Wang Jinhuan thought for a while before hurrying outside the Princess Palace. He wanted to inform Prince Jing as soon as he could. However, as soon as he escaped the Palace, he stopped. Something struck him as strange. He thought about how cunning Princess Hui Guo had been and how she had treated him. Why should he help her?
Well, he then did the math. If he didn't tell Prince Jing about this and something happened to Princess Hui Guo later, he'll be damned. Wang shook his head in disbelief when he realized that he would be better off being mad at the Princess than being hated by Prince Jing. Just the thought of it made him tremble. "I'd better tell Prince Jing, " he mumbled. As for Princess Hui Guo, he'll have plenty of chances to get square.
Having thought things through, Wang Jinhuan hurried to Prince Jing's mansion. Once he reached, Wang jumped over the wall and dashed into the courtyard. As soon as he saw Prince Jing, he hurriedly said, "Luo Qingyan, Luo Qingyan, something is going to happen. Your Princess is in danger!"
